He has represented both individuals and businesses as lead trial counsel in courts throughout the country and has successfully tried to verdict numerous cases in both state and federal court. The following are recent examples of the success Craig has achieved on behalf of his clients:

He served as lead counsel for the plaintiff and her parents in a trial against one of the largest trucking companies in the nation. The trucking company argued that its’ global positioning satellite (GPS) data demonstrated that none of its’ trucks could have been involved in a wreck that injured the plaintiff and killed her sister. Craig and his co-counsel demonstrated that the company’s GPS data was inaccurate and unreliable. The jury agreed and returned a verdict in favor of Craig’s clients. The verdict was announced as a “Top Texas Verdict of 2011″ by VerdictSearch. The case settled favorably for Craig’s clients for a confidential sum.

He served as co-lead counsel for a Louisiana company that brought breach of contract and fraud claims against one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. The case involved a complicated supply chain of unique materials from Florida that were used at a refinery in Texas. After two days of evidence before a three-member arbitration panel, the case settled favorably for Craig’s client for a confidential sum.

He served as lead counsel and successfully defended one of the largest aerial lift manufacturers in the world in a multi-million dollar commercial case involving allegations of breach of contract and tortious interference with contract.

He served as co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the first case in the United States where a jury returned a verdict that a motor coach bus was unsafe because it did not have seat belts or safety glass to protect passengers. The verdict in that case was also listed by the National Law Journal as one of the Top 100 verdicts in the United States in 2005.
